Bausch + Lomb News, Events at ASCRS

April 11, 2018

Dear Eye Care Professional:

The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) annual meeting is a fantastic opportunity to spend time with customers and colleagues new and old, learn about exciting new research and explore the latest technologies in our incredibly dynamic industry. We’re very proud of our contributions to this rich professional experience.

At this year’s meeting, we’ll be featuring the latest Bausch + Lomb cataract suite of technologies. Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system with Adaptive Fluidics™ and dual linear footpedal control, and the VICTUS® femtosecond laser platform with new 3.3 software and hardware are now being joined by the new enVista® MX60E with Stableflex™ technology to offer surgeons their cataract platform for the future. With it’s Trusight™ optic offering, predictably exceptional image quality and excellent contrast sensitibity, the enVista MX60E is a clear choice for visual excellence.

The response to these new technologies from surgeons across the country has been overwhelmingly exciting to see, as they are impressed by the technology and encouraged by the significant investment we’ve made to bring new phaco, laser and implant technology to the market over the past nine months. We invite you to find out for yourself what others are experiencing by participating in our immersive wet lab at the Bausch + Lomb booth (#2242). Those who have taken advantage of this opportunity in the past appreciate the chance to get a feel for these devices in the lab and then often schedule an evaluation in their operating room as soon as later that week.

Take a few minutes while you are at ASCRS to stop by, register for a wet lab time, and speak with your colleagues and the Bausch + Lomb team to learn more about how you can evolve your practice to the next technology platform.

Featured Educational Programs
We understand that learning from colleagues is often the best way to understand how you can implement new technology into your practice. At these engaging programs, you will hear from surgeons who have been on the ground floor with implementing Stellaris Elite™, VICTUS® 3.3 and enVista® with Stableflex into their surgical suite. Please take time to join us for an engaging series of learning experiences:

A distinguished group of speakers will participate in the sessions, several of which will include discussion of technologies from the Bausch + Lomb surgical portfolio. These include:

Scientific Podium Presentations and Posters
While we have been busy developing new products in our research and development labs at Bausch + Lomb, surgeons have been impressed with how these products have helped changed the way they treat patients. This year, some of those surgeons have developed 20 podium presentations and e-posters that will feature Bausch + Lomb’s surgical technologies. We encourage you to take time to see these presentations and posters during your stay in Washington, DC:
